After z. B. 24 h, the toluene is filtered off with suction and the sample is weighed. After drying the sample in vacuo is weighed again.
- the swelling index is the ratio of the weight after the swelling process to the weight dry after re-drying. Accordingly, the gel fraction is calculated from the ratio of the dry weighting after the swelling step to the initial weight before the swelling step (x 100%).
- the T2 time is determined by measuring the NMR relaxation of a dewatered and filmed sample of the graft base dispersion. For example, the sample is flashed overnight at e.g. Dried at 60 ° C for 3 h in vacuo and then with a suitable meter, z. B. minispec device from. Brucker, measured at 80 ° C. Comparable are only samples that were measured by the same method, since the relaxation is significantly temperature-dependent.

- Irganox ® PS802 from BASF SE heat stabilizer preparing the molding compositions
- the above-described polymer components a and b are mixed with the addition of the components C1 and C2 and optionally B1 and / or B2 in the proportions indicated in Table 1 in a twin-screw extruder at 200 to 250 ° C and processed into a molding composition.
- the molding compositions 1 to 4 are according to the invention; the molding compositions V1 to V6 are comparative examples.
- filaments with a nominal temperature of 210 to 225 ° C. are heated by means of a single-screw extruder with a gear pump with a nozzle with a nozzle diameter of 2 mm and a nozzle diameter of 2 mm in a water bath heated to 85 ° C. Diameter of 1, 78 mm.
- the quality of the filaments was examined for dimensional constancy using a three-axis laser gauge for inline diameter measurement and ovality (Table 2).
- Table 2 Filament quality
- Pressure bed temperature target 135 ° C is 120 ° C Installation space temperature approx. 40 ° C to 55 ° C
- Construction orientation 1 layers parallel to the pulling direction
- the arrow (1) shows the outer contour
- the arrow (2) shows the inner contour
- the arrows (3) show the 45 °
- alternating filling the arrow (4) shows the layer direction
- the arrows ( 5) show the pulling direction.
- FIG. 2 shows a stationary component; an assembly (two tension rods parallel to each other, a tension rod offset by 90 ° and centered centered) of five connected together via the Wegstabenden tension rods.
- the arrow (1) shows the outer contour
- the arrow (2) shows the inner contour
- the arrow (3) shows the 45 °
- alternating filling the arrow (4) shows the layer direction
- the arrows (5) show the direction of pull.
- the print quality of the tensile bars printed from the thermoplastic materials from the molding compositions according to the invention is good. All printed tensile bars of the molding compositions according to the invention have satisfactory mechanical properties for the applications.
